"Rye and her two friends had never intended to steal the banned book form the Angry Poet--they'd just hoped to read it. In truth, it was nothing more than curiosity that brought them to the strange little bookstore wedged between a grogshop and the coffin maker. But the store's owner overreacted so strongly that they fled without thinking, the illicit tome still clutched under Rye's arm." p. 1This is the first volume in a planned trilogy from Exeter resident Paul Durham. Kirkus said that "Layers, nuance, wit and a thumping good story make this a must-read." To learn more check out the trailer.
